Happy B-Day Justin!

There are several of you that we know from medical school who are now doing residencies (or almost done) so you can all relate. Justin works so hard for not so much and he puts in some crazy hours. Yesterday he went to work at 5:30 a.m and got home at 1:30 a.m. the next morning since he was on call. The good news is that he didn't have to work on his birthday. Hurray!! That's why he is in bed when Izzy is singing to him.

I asked Izzy about a week ago what she wanted to get Justin for his birth-day. She said, "Sweetie Belle" which is a My Little Pony. She also thought he needed a My Little Pony cake. Justin of course went along with it.It's always difficult to buy the perfect gift for Justin. So I made him this card with a little help from Wes and Izzy. I thought it turned out really cute.We really love our daddy and we are so grateful he works so hard and loves us so much! Happy 29th Just!

It's That Time Again

Did you fill out your bracket yet? The MADNESS starts today!

2009 Bracket

Utah State! Hey! Aggies all the way! (I'm not saying they are going to go far, I'm just saying I like to see my Alma Marter playing in the big tournament.)

Two Months

Wesley is two months old! Izzy turned to me the other day and said, "Baby brother is so cute." I had to agree. I included Izzy's two month picture so everyone can compare. Do you think they look alike?

Daddy's Little Girl

Justin has been putting in some long hours this very long rotation (pediatric anesthesia) and when he's home, he has been reading a ton to prepare for an exam he takes tomorrow.

Last night he got home after 7:30 p.m. and I had just put Izzy to bed. I was trying to keep her up to see her daddy, but she said she was ready to go to sleep. Justin was pretty sad not to see her, so he went into her room to tell her goodnight.

He said that he walked in and she got the biggest grin on her face. He knelt by her bed and she puckered up for a kiss. They than had this conversation.

Justin: "I miss you Izzy."

Iz: "I miss you too, Daddy."

Justin: "I love you Izzy."

Iz: "I love you too, Daddy."

Justin: "I know I've been busy, but we will play Saturday, Okay?"

Iz: "Okay Daddy."

When he told me their conversation, I nearly started crying it was so sweet. I think Justin was a little teary-eyed too. It's so great knowing a kid loves you more than anything else is the whole world. I love that Justin is the rock star of Izzy's world! Don't worry, I'm a rock star in her world too, probably bigger than Justin. :)

I Swear They Plan It...

Wes: I'll be up around 1:00 a.m. to nurse and have a really wet diaper that leaks so my jammies need to be changed. I'll cry a lot.

Iz: Great! That means I will get up at 2:00 a.m. and say that I have to go potty. Meanwhile I will make a really big deal about wanting to sleep in mommy's bed and cry a lot.

Wes: Okay, I will get up at 4:00 to eat. Then around 5:00 I will get restless and cry a lot because I have gas pain and need to burp.

Iz: Okay I will get up at 5:30 and insist on a cup of milk and watching a show. I'll be up for good by then. If necessary, I will cry a lot.
